Oncofertility (Fertility Preservation)

Our oncofertility specialist provides consultation to pediatric, adolescent and adult cancer and blood
disorders patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation that will impair fertility. Our specialist
works closely with colleagues in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI), the Markey Cancer
Center and the pediatric oncology team at Kentucky Children’s Hospital. The team collaborates
to preserve the fertility and reproductive health of patients of all ages and genders. Consultation
prior to initiation of therapy allows implementation of the best fertility preservation options and is
recommended. Patients are seen throughout the course of their treatment as options may remain
available. Late effects of therapy on hormone function and reproductive health are also addressed.
